Spied in California, the car is heavily camouflaged but it looks identical to previous prototypes. This means we can expect A1-inspired headlights, LED taillights, and a familiar profile.

Since the A6 is based on the A7 Sportback, engine options will likely include a 150 kW (201 hp / 204 PS) 2.8-liter FSI, a 220 kW (295 hp / 299 PS) supercharged 3.0-liter TFSI, and two 3.0-liter TDIs rated at 150 kW (201 hp / 204 PS) and 180 kW (241 hp / 245 PS). A V8 remains a strong possibility, but it remains unclear if it will be the outgoing 4.2-liter or the new 4.0-liter unit.
